I think if you clear the cmos the password will go too.

By changing a jumper position on the mobo or removing the battery for a period of time, consult your mobo manual for details

Well i tryed that site and my advice is not to bother with the passwords. Just open up ur case and move the jumper. Leave it for ten seconds. Put it back. Et voila! Password cleared. (10secs is what my mate said, i left it for about 2mins while i went downstairs to get some food)

Cheers for the help guys
